The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Education
The Oxford Handbook of Religion and Education offers a multi-disciplinary work of scholarship and research highlighting the global significance of a critical interface of cultural and social, political, and theological importance. Drawing on historical perspective and contemporary reflection, the collection provides a uniquely transformative analysis of why the interface of religion and education is of such critical significance. With contributions from some of the leading thinkers in the field, this Handbook presents a cumulatively powerful argument to reassess the complexities of the intersection of religion and education. With ambitious and yet accessible intellectual engagements, the Handbook here furthers a central thesis: that the interface of religion and education is not merely a matter of arcane disputation about a domain of ancient origin or a rudimentary matter of formal educational process, but a vibrant domain of critical contestation fundamental to knowing, understanding, and living in the modern world.
Protestant School Leaders: A Qualitative Research about their Self-understanding
The study is concerned with the self-understanding of Protestant secondary school principals about their school leadership in the context of Cameroon where education is rooted in missionary and colonial times. The debate at international level on whether or not none-state schools are widening inequality gaps and whether school leadership is contributing to enlightenment or to fundamentalism matter in researching about the Protestant school profile and leadership. The study therefore seeks to answer the research question, “What are the perceptions of secondary school principals of Protestant schools about their school leadership?” The research was conceptualized as exploratory and hypothe...
Religious Communication, Interaction and Transformation in a Culture of Digitality
The articles in this volume present research insights from the interdisciplinary University Research Priority Program (UFSP) ‘Digital Religion(s).

The articles give insights, from different disciplinary perspectives, how the URPP ‘Digital Religion(s)’ has resea...
International Handbook of Practical Theology
Practical theology has outgrown its traditional pastoral paradigm. The articles in this handbook recognize that faith, spirituality, and lived religion, within and beyond institutional communities, refer to realms of cultures, ritual practices, and symbolic orders, whose boundaries are not clearly defined and whose contents are shifting. The International Handbook of Practical Theology offers insightful transcultural conceptions of religion and religious matters gathered from various cultures and traditions of faith. The first section presents ‘concepts of religion’. Chapters have to do with considerations of the conceptualizing of religion in the fields of ‘anthropology’, ‘communi...
Religion and Worldviews in Education
This timely book offers a critically important contribution to debates around the meeting place of religious and secular worldviews in education. Edited by five leading figures in the field, and drawing on expert international scholarship and research, the book provides cutting-edge analysis that bridges the religious and secular in global educational contexts. Considering the role of the United Nations, UNESCO, OECD and PISA in varied international contexts, the book draws on critical analysis of primary empirical research and secondary critique to offer a coherent blend of theoretically complex yet practical analysis of policy implementation. Throughout this accessible and logically structured volume, the authors assert that the meeting place of religious and secular worldviews is one of the most important and pressing issues for religion in education. As a field-defining work of research into education, religion and worldviews, the book will be essential reading for scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of religious education, religious studies, philosophy of education and international education.
